Under 1k,

If you are interested, I have a proboat shockwave 55, With one tank of gas ran thru it. $800.00
Or i have a brand new one in the box $950.00
That boat looks awesome Chris! I used to have a couple boats, none near that nice though.

I've been flying a plane around that I purchased recently...flying is hella fun but hard as hell to do....
Haha!! I think I would be able to get all of it except the landing part. Never ends well on the flight sim. LoL
Have you had any problems with blow overs.
With mine if i dont keep the trim tabs set pretty low at high speeds it wants to blow over.

Not if you're talking about a custom built race boat.

Hull/Cowl/Radio Box: $375
Full Mod Motor: $595
Tuned Pipe/Header: $165
Hardware: $100 - $200
Radio Gear: $150 - $300 (2 digital servos, receiver, battery pack, switch)
Miscellaneous Building supplies: $100+ (gas and water lines, fittings, fasteners, collet, motor mount, pipe retainer, fuel bag, fuel filter, stuffing tube, epoxy, push rods, connectors, push rod seals, floatation, etc)

Someone to build it: ????? (usually another $200 or more depending on complexity or detail required)

That's about $1900+ and we haven't even gotten to the paint job yet.

I've built a few myself so my wallet knows how much it really costs.

And for all of this you get a boat that should be good for 55-70 mph.

But that's only if it were set up correctly. Smile
Boat could cost upward to 2500 to 3000 thousand.

Slow Revo boat is stuck to water like glue very very hard to blow this one over.
